There are some problems with repeat-ends feature not adding an exception to the schedule
Can you foward me an updated module IceCubeMethods

This is totally awesome. Great work!
+1 to the repeat-ends feature not adding an exception

Has anyone made any improvements to this?

Really really great work. You saved me hours of time here. Thanks a bunch!

I'd recommend you all check out this gem, which I've used. It hides most of this complexity and adds a slick UI: https://github.com/GetJobber/recurring_select

Nice interface! Will you ever package this as a gem?

@jbat or @mzaragoza did you ever by chance get updated code to handle adding an exception to schedules? thanks

this great thank you

@nathancolgate Thanks, this really saved me a lot of time.

Has anyone ported this to Rails 4? Not sure how send :attr_accessible is supposed to work in IceCubeMethods in Rails 4

@kcollignon, @jbat, @mzaragoza: the documentation for IceCube::Schedule#new shows that the param should be :end_time and not :ends_time. However, when I changed to that, it still did not fix the repeat-ends problem. So, I worked around it by adding the following change in EventInstance#occurrences_between:

    results.map { |event|
      schedule_end_date = end_date
      if event.repeat_ends == 'on' && event.repeat_ends_on < end_date
        schedule_end_date = event.repeat_ends_on
      end
      event.schedule.occurrences_between(begin_date,schedule_end_date).map { |date|
        ...

@kleinjm, I removed the :attr_accessible lines from IceCubeMethods since ActiveRecord will create those by default based on the DB columns. Also, I'm using this on Rails 5, but I had to use baby_squeel since squeel doesn't support Rails 5 (baby_squeel supports Rails 4/5). To port to baby_squeel, just use Event.where.has{ in EventInstance instead of Event.where{.
